Thanksgiving Blessings by Jenny Alia

Hi, it's Jenny here today wishing all of you in the USA a very Happy Thanksgiving! When deciding what kind of a card I wanted to make this week I couldn't think of making a Thanksgiving card without using Tom the Turkey. He's wonderful to color, those details on his body just pop out when you add color.

He's standing on an assortment of leaves also colored with distress inks from the Small Dimensional Leaves #2 die. I added a scroll detail to the kraft paper using the Curved Border Set die.

Tom the Turkey Table Decorations with Lisa Blastick

Lisa 3:30 AM 3 Comments

Hi everyone! It's Lisa back today sharing a new project and video tutorial on my Tom the Turkey Table Decorations for Cheery Lynn Designs. I wanted to make some cute little turkeys for my table this upcoming Thanksgiving. My brother has five children and I thought they would like them on their plates and then they can take them home. They are about 4 inches tall and 3 inches wide. Super easy to make and it gives your Thanksgiving table a bit of color. These were also inspired by this week's challenge "Autumn Colors"

The papers I used are only one sided patterned papers for my rosettes/feathers, but you can use double sided patterned papers to give your turkey a more fuller feathered look. I also added little wiggly eyes on the kraft turkey head, just to make them more playful for the children.

Here you can see the Tom the Turkeys from above...They really are fun to make....

Here is the quick video tutorial on how I made them:

Thanks for watching!

God Bless by Karen Maldonado

Hi there Cheery Lynn friends! It's Karen here sharing my shaped

Thanksgiving card with you today!

First, I started by using the L12 French Flair Classic Silver Stacker

as the frame for the card.

Then, I took the B254 Mesh Border, and ran it through

the die cut machine (only 1 time). By doing this, it retained the little tiny pieces

that typically fall out when you die cut. After, I cut the border, I placed the same French Flair Stacker right on top of it to create this border that would lie right on top

of the designer paper card frame piece!

Next, I layered B599 Tom the Turkey, XL21 Pierced Stacker #3,

and the L4 Classic Circle Silver Stacker dies.

Using the CARA26 God Bless sentiment,

I die cut and then placed it onto the turkey!

Lastly, I made three flowers using the B307 Sweet William Strip and

B241 Rose Leaf Strip. Then, I added some shiny brads

for the center of the flowers!

List of dies used:

you come and play along using all of your favorite Cheery Lynn dies

Turkey Time with Jenny Alia

Jenny Alia 3:30 AM 0 Comments

Hello! It's Jenny posting today with a card using Tom The Turkey. This die is so incredibly detailed, it's amazing. I didn't end up using a lot of embellishments because Tom didn't need it. He can stand on his own. I colored him with distress ink, fluffed out his tail feathers and popped him up with foam adhesive.

He's standing on four layers of card stock that I cut using the Pierced Stacker #3 die. The top layer was cut with the die and then I hand cut the pierced edge off so it would be slightly smaller than the orange layer. The largest white layer of Pierced Stacker #3 was made by tracing the outside of the die and then hand cutting the edge with a scissor.

The stitched detail on the 5.5" base layer was cut using the Square Stitch Nesting die. This die doesn't cut the squares but it does add these stitches in a variety of sizes. It's perfect for adding a little extra detail. Last I cut flourishes from the Leafy Flourish die, added a little distress ink to the edges and tucked the die cuts around the Turkey.

Thankful For You With Lisa Blastick

Lisa 3:30 AM 1 Comments

Hi, Its Lisa back again sharing more of the New Release by Cheery Lynn Designs!

Today, I'm sharing Tom the Turkey! It truly is a beautiful diecut with amazing details. So originally, I colored the turkey with copic markers and well since I'm not a great at coloring it was a disaster! So THANKFULLY (pun intended LOL) you can be like me and still get a fantastic looking turkey!

I diecut the turkey once in Kraft cardstock and once in brown cardstock. I fussy cut out the brown pieces that I wanted to highlight and glued them to the top of the Kraft. I then diecut just a piece of red and yellow for the feet and beak then layered them on top. Easy and pretty fast! I chalked the edges of the Kraft and Tom is ready to go!

The base of the Kraft card is 5 x6 and I cut, chalked and then embossed another piece of Kraft 4.5 x 5.5 in the background. For the Birch tree with Cute Critters, I used the same brown cardstock as Tom the Turkey. I diecut 3 different color strips, red, orange, and yellow of Flourish Leaf Set. I then cut the leaves off and placed throughout the tree. You will have leftovers but you can always save them for another autumn card. :) The New Grass Border 2 was cut twice in yellow and placed on the bottom. I stamped my sentiment and diecut it out with Pierced Stacker #4 with chalking on the edges. I used the little owl and the squirrel to finish this Thankful Card to a friend or loved one!

A few pop dots underneath, but ready to mailed in a regular envelope...
